Sorry - My fault - It seems there are broken debs ....
(root@source)/tmp# ar x bash_2.02.1-1.8_mips.deb
ar: bash_2.02.1-1.8_mips.deb: Malformed archive
Following files are broken and have been removed:
bash_2.02.1-1.8_mips.deb
libreadlineg2_2.1-13.6_mips.deb
libreadlineg2-dbg_2.1-13.6_mips.deb
libreadlineg2-dev_2.1-13.6_mips.deb
Now dpkg-scanpackages works again ...
There are currently no packages in contrib/binary-mips and
non-free/binary-mips so probably you get an error there too.
